Adam Levine of Maroon 5 performs onstage during the 8th annual "We Can Survive" concert hosted by Audacy at Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 23, 2021 in Los Angeles.
Amy SussmanAdam Levine showed off his latest tattoo on Tuesday, and spoiler alert: It’s on his face.
The Maroon 5 frontman debuted the new ink — a black rose that extends along the left side of his face from his temple down to his cheekbone — on his wife Behati Prinsloo’s Instagram Stories. In the snap, the singer side-eyes the camera from the passenger seat of a car while holding a bottle of Calirosa tequila in his expertly manicured hand. You can also see a close-up of the ink in action on Calirosa’s Instagram Stories.
Based on his Instagram activity, the flower must be fairly new, considering his face can be seen clearly tattoo-free in posts dating as recently as just prior to Thanksgiving — Nov. 16 and 21, to be exact.
Back in October, the former The Voice coach unveiled yet another tattoo in his impressive collection: a butterfly trapped in cobwebs stamped firmly on his throat. The rocker’s overall look has also undergone numerous transformations this year, as he’s changed his hair from a Lord of the Rings-inspired “Gandalf white-ish silver” to blue to green and back to the current state of his natural brunette.
Levine and his Maroon 5 bandmates just finished an eight-week tour across North America (which was postponed from its original 2020 dates due to the coronavirus pandemic) in support of their latest album Jordi. Next, they’ll cap that trek with two back-to-back nights playing The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas to ring in the new year on Dec. 30 and 31.

Sharleen Spiteri joined BBC Radio 2’s The Sara Cox Breakfast Show ahead of Texas taking the stage to launch the main live music programme at Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling.
Checking in from rehearsals, the Texas frontwoman spoke about getting ready for the band’s opening performance at City Park. Radio 2’s annual flagship festival takes place there from 11 to 13 September 2026. "I’m match fit because I’ve had a couple of days’ rehearsals," Spiteri said. "We’re kicking the whole weekend off, which we’re very much looking forward to, so everybody’s got to get ready to party."
Before the live acts take over, Friday’s DJ Pre-Party gets the weekend started with Radio 2 favourites Sara Cox, DJ Spoony, Gary Davies, Michelle Visage, and Rylan behind the decks.
Jo Whiley helped set the mood with a special programme from Stirling’s Tolbooth venue. Working with BBC Introducing Scotland, the broadcast put the spotlight on Scotland’s emerging music scene through performances and conversations with Fright Years, Alice Faye, and James Emmanuel.
Fright Years, a four member band from Edinburgh, played "Never Been Wrong" and offered their take on Simple Minds’ "Waterfront." Glasgow singer and songwriter Alice Faye, the BBC Introducing in Scotland 2026 winner, paired "Some Brief Encounter" with a rendition of Lulu’s arrangement of "I Started a Joke." James Emmanuel, who was born in Nigeria and now lives in Edinburgh, sang "Brothers & Sisters" before taking on Chaka Khan’s "I’m Every Woman."
"We’re all about celebrating BBC Introducing and all the music that’s come out of Scotland," Whiley told listeners. "It's about celebrating the local music scene and the incredibly important work that BBC Introducing does to support independent, up-and-coming artists."
Joining the conversation were Stephanie Cheape, presenter of BBC Introducing in Scotland, Tara McLoughlin, venue manager for Stirling Council, and student radio presenters representing the University of Stirling’s Air3 Radio.
Listeners can catch the complete interviews and live performances from the weekend’s programmes on BBC Sounds.
